Japanese Art Collective TeamLab Is Bringing Its High-Tech Immersive Art Experiences to New York
Brace yourselves, New Yorkers. TeamLab mania is coming. Next summer, the incredibly popular Japanese high-tech art collective is coming to Brooklyn’s Industry City in Sunset Park.
The team of computer programmers, animators, engineers, designers, mathematicians, and architects, work together to create mind-bending light installations. The collective opened the first museum dedicated to digital art in Tokyo, and according to the Observer, the artists signed an 11-year lease on a 55,000-square-foot warehouse last month.
“I wanted to pick the best city for more people to come see our digital museum, and that’s when I thought New York,” teamLab’s chief creative officer Takumi Nomoto told Bloomberg.
In an email to artnet News a representative for Pace Gallery, who represent the collective in New York, said “Pace is working closely with teamLab to support the organization and facilitation of an ambitious, immersive, long-term exhibition of their work in that space.”
In the inaugural Brooklyn show, the collective plans to recreate a number of installations currently on view in Tokyo.
